GHSRs

Meaning

GHSRs is the clinical abbreviation for Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors primarily known for binding the hormone ghrelin. These receptors are widely distributed throughout the body, including the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, and their activation is crucial for stimulating the release of Growth Hormone (GH). They represent a key pharmacological target for modulating energy balance, appetite, and somatotropic axis function.
